Max Verstappen goes for his third career win at Silverstone.
Formula 1 is in action for the third weekend in a row, this time heading to Silverstone for the British Grand Prix.
Last year’s winner, Max Verstappen, is looking to win back-to-back British Grand Prix for the first time in his career and to be the first driver since Lewis Hamilton in 2019 and 2020 to win consecutive F1 races at the track. Other former British Grand Prix winners in this field include Carlos Sainz Jr. and Fernando Alonso.
Last weekend in Austria, Verstappen and McLaren driver Lando Norris were battling for the win when the two made contact.
The damage ended Norris’ day and sent Verstappen to the pits. He recovered to finish fifth, but it was Mercedes driver George Russell who ended the day atop the podium, taking advantage of the mishap between the leaders. Norris’ McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri was second while Sainz rounded out the podium.

Sainz is in fourth while Sergio Perez, Verstappen’s Red Bull teammate, is fifth.
Red Bull leads the constructors points with 355, followed by Ferrari at 291 and McLaren at 268. Mercedes is in contention as well with 196 points, followed by a huge gap back to Aston Martin in fifth with 58 points. Every podium has gone to a driver on a top four team.
